Guiunea pigs are very social and shouldn't be kept alone. How many pigs do you have and what size cage.

One piggie needs a 7.5 sguare feet and you add 2.5 sguare feet for each additional pig.

Welcome to the forum. This is a good site for a lot of information on how to take care of your new family member. Make sure to read and learn as much as you can.

Welcome Ladder!! Oh, look at that coat on the piggy! BEAUTIFUL! I want to snuggle with it! Is it a boy or girl?

I agree with what Rnd said...make sure you get a proper set up and I think adopting a same-sex friend for your piggy is a great idea :)

You'll learn so much here...there's a lot to read, but it's all good stuff :)

Hello and glad you found this sight. I have learned so much from everyone here, they have a wealth of info. Check out all the threads, especially the ones by Ly on nutrition. (I dont know how to attach link, my hubby and daughter are asleep and I am so stupid with computers.LOL)
Like Rnd210 stated, friends are a must and proper cage size. We have 12 piggies and I am always trying to find ways to get them more space. More space, happier, healthier pigs.
You will enjoy your new family member. They have a way of stealing your heart.
Your piggy is gorgeous. Nice and healthy looking with that shiny coat.
Best wishes
